Solomon mtn explore liner heating temp

[justcuz]

Anyone know what temp to heat Salomon mtn explore boot liners? I'm experienced with intuition etc so not afraid to do it on my own. But certainly don't want to melt em.

about the same temp, or a bit colder.

or just go ski them for a day or so

Solomon tech manual says 100c for 5 mins.

My wife just got the same boots about a month ago. She is a legit 25.0 but got a 24.5 boot so dropped a shell size from what she normally wears. Boots were a little tight initially especially in the toes but shell fit was not too tight. She had some toe bang right away and solved that by using a heel lift and toured in the boots a couple of times. She decided to dump the heel lifts thinking the boots might have stretched out a bit. They didn't pack much so we decided to heat mold and add some toe caps and blow out the toes. Anyway, we preheat our oven to 205 and heated the liners for 12 min. We did a normal mold using pretty thick toe padding. Boots molded fine and easy with no issues. Now the boots fit great with no toe bang and no heel lifts. BTW, she loves these boots coming from Geas. They are simple and light and not as whimpy as they look or feel in the store once they are cooled down in the field.

Additionally ^^^ we used laces during the molding process to keep liner from shifting when inserting and greased the shells with vasoline to aid the process.

Wow. Awesome info. My wife is between a 23 and 24. We opted for the 24 because they seem to run a little short. Today was day one and length seems fine. We might mold em as she had one point of pressure today. No reliable boot fitter here so we might need to go get it punched at some point but we'll mold em first.

She loved how simple they are and they skied impressively according to her. I think for a lady who skies a little inbounds and is only mildly aggressive, it's a great boot.
